Default Distributing Visio 2003 with ZfD4.

I've created a MSI app object for Visio 2003 and I want to embed the user's name in the distribution (the setting in Tools, Options, General). The Visio 2003 MSI has the install option called "USERNAME=[string]" for doing this.

So, I created a property in the MSI app object called USERNAME and set it equal to %PROPERNAME% which is the environment variable that contains the person's full name. This doesn't work. The person's name ends up being set to %PROPERNAME%.

So, I tried creating a String Value under Macros. I gave the value name of PERSON and the value data of %PROPERNAME%. I then set the property USERNAME equal to %PERSON%. This did not work either. The user's name ended up being set to %PERSON%.

Is there a way to do environment variable substitution with MSI properties in an app object in ZfD4?
